The products from foreign countries which they accept from other nations have to pass some terms and conditions. They also restrict some applications from being used in their country.

METHOD 3 – How To Download & Install Google Play Store App on Huawei Chinese Phones

You might have noticed that even after installing the software updates on Huawei Chinese phones. Google play store and Google’s apps are removed. It is because the ROM is Chinese, and the developers have to remove Google apps.

To overcome this issue. You can directly install and download the Google play store and services from an app named Google Installer.

First of all, download Google Installer APK and Google Play Store APK from the link below.

Follow the steps to download the Google Play Store on your Huawei Chinese Phones:

[jetpack-related-posts]
  1. First, move both Google Installer APK and Google play store APK to file storage on your phone.
  2. Go to Settings -> Advanced Settings ->Security ->Enable Download from Unknown Sources.
  3. Now locate the Google Installer APK file using the file manager on your Huawei Chinese phone.
  4. Now open and install the APK. Click on OK and Install. You will see a blue circle tap on it.
  5. After that, click on the yellow circle. Now, it will ask you to install the Google Services framework.
  6. Click on Install and then click on OK.
  7. In the next step, you have to click on the Red Circle.
  8. Accept the terms and give permissions as follows.
  9. Now locate Google Play Store’s APK file in the internal storage of your phone.
  10. Tap on it to install it.
  11. Now open Google Play Store and enter your Google account details, and you are good to go.
  12. Although most phones do not require to installation of google play services separately. If the Google play store does not install google play services itself. Download the APK file of Google Play Services and install it on your Huawei phone.

Install Google Play Store automatically from a package

Getting Google services installed on a Chinese smartphone is simpler through a package that installs everything you need. It depends a little on the brand of the device, but in general, it is very similar in all. For this example, we are going to install Google Play on Xiaomi with a Chinese version of MIUI.

To start, we will look for the application that will help us install the services we need. All Chinese smartphones usually have a manufacturer’s application store – enter the app and search for “Google installer.” If you can not find anything, search for “Google” and use Baidu’s search engine, the blue symbol of an animal’s footprint.

There are several applications depending on the manufacturer. All are usually in Chinese, and its icon is similar to the Google Play logo. If you’re not sure, you just have to install it and try it.

Find the application that installs Google services.

Once the application is installed, open it. Click on what appears to be the beginning of the application. In my case, it is this blue circle with Chinese symbols in the center that I suppose says something like “install.”

The process begins.

You may be asked for permission to carry out the installations, and several APKs will be downloaded to be installed, such as the calendar, contact manager, Google services, and Google Play.

Grant permits to the facilities.

Once installed, you just have to register with your Gmail account to access Google Play

A few people have complained that their firmware does not let them run Google apps on their devices. You can get Google apps, including the Google Play Store app, using Google Installer for Chinese cell phones. In case you experience any difficulties while following the steps or you get stuck, be sure to post a comment. Thank you.
